Technical Report - GEOGRAPHY MAPPING SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL OF SUSTAINABLE MEASURES FOR THE SUB-BASIN OF THE BATOQUE RIVER, HIDROLÂNDIA-CE

The work in question aims at socio-environmental analysis and to develop proposals for sustainable measures for the sub-basin of the Batoque River, located in the municipality of Hidrolândia - CE, being located in the Northwest part of the State. The sub-basin corresponds to an area of 112.5 km², presenting an extensive planing area classified as sertaneja depression and river plain, with higher concentration of inselbergs in its high and medium course. The methodological basis was the systemic approach applied to geographic studies. Bibliographic, geocartographic and fieldwork surveys were carried out. Remote sensing was used as a basic tool, through the digital processing of Landsat 8 satellite images and SRTM radar images, for the elaboration of thematic maps and field visits, the matrix letters of SUDENE/DSG, SB.24-V-B-I (Santa Quitéria) and SB-24-V-B-IV (Monkfish) were used as support. An analysis and diagnosis of Geoenvironmental elements (geology, geomorphology, climate and water resources, soils, vegetation and fauna) was performed, as well as aspects that involve the process of land use and cover.
